This milestone proves that when the community shows up for open source, the impact is real. But the work isn’t done. The open source funding gap is still enormous, many critical projects remain underfunded, and maintainer burnout continues to be one of the biggest risks to the software supply chain. This $100 million is proof that the community can change how open source is sustained, one sponsorship at a time. The best way to keep this momentum going? Start sponsoring the projects you depend on
